With slick action scenes and solid acting, MR-9: Do Or Die is an action flick which seems a bit out of step with its contemporaries. I mean that in a good way. It feels very 1990, especially with the...
For some people, this was the King Kong they were raised on. For others, nothing trumps the original. For me, the 1976 version of King Kong is nothing to go bananas over . . . even if Jessica Lange lo...
Round one! Operating like a mad take on a game of Mortal Kombat (and just as kinetic), Boy Kills World is a violent thrill ride as a man named “Boy” gets his revenge on the woman who murdered his fami...
